Optical Image Stabilization
The OIS function reduces camera shake that occurs when the shutter
release button is pressed. This is useful for taking pictures in situations where
camera shake is likely to occur. The OIS function allows you to take pictures
at approximately 2 to 3.5 steps slower shutter speed without the risk of the
camera shake. The OIS function is ideal when taking pictures in the following
situations.
- When taking pictures in dimly lit locations, such as indoors, at night, on cloudy
days and in the shade
- When taking telephoto pictures
● The OIS function does not compensate for blurring caused by
movement of the subject. To take pictures of a moving subject,
increase the shutter speed.
● The OIS function may not fully reduce camera shake when taking
close-up shots. In this case, it is recommended that the OIS function
be turned off and the camera be used with a tripod.
● The OIS function will not fully work when shooting with a slower shutter
speed, for example when shooting a moving subject or night scenes.
In this case, it is recommended that the OIS function be turned off and
the camera be used with a tripod.
● Turn the OIS switch off if you will not be using the OIS function.
● The OIS function will not fully work (for about 2 seconds) right after
turning on the camera or restoring from Auto Power Off. Wait for the
OIS function to become stable before gently pressing the shutter
release button to take a picture. Press the shutter release button
halfway. The camera is ready to take pictures when icon appears in the
viewfi nder.
● Be sure to turn off the OIS switch when using the camera with a tripod.
● The OIS function automatically turns off in the following situations.
When using self-timer, remote control shooting, bulb shooting, or
wireless mode with an external fl ash.
